school until they are sixteen. Most students are seventeen or eighteen years old when they leave secondary (中
等的) schools. There are two kinds of schools in the United States: public schools and private (私立的)
schools. Most children go to public schools. Their parents do not have to pay for their education because the
schools receive money from the government. If a child goes to a private school, his parents have to get enough
money for his schooling. Some parents still prefer private schools, though they are much more expensive.
Today about half of the high school students go to universities after they finish the secondary school. A
student at state university does not have to pay very much if his parents live in that state. But many students
work while they are studying at universities. In this way they develop good working habits and live by their
own hands.

after they leave the secondary school today.

High in the mountains, and deep in the forest, lives a lake with many plants and animals in and around her. The plants and animals have enough food and clean water to keep them healthy. The wind carries pure air, and the rain comes down clear and clean.
But recently, Lucy Lake and her friends haven’t been feeling very well. All the plants and animals get together to talk about the problem. “Why are we sick?” “What can we do?” ask all of them. No one has any answers.
Just then two hikers appear. The animals tell them about their problems. “Can you help us?” they ask. “Yes,” one hiker says. “I think it’s because of acid rain.”
“Acid rain comes from chemicals(化学物质) in the air. The pollution comes from factories, cars and trucks.”
“So, although I don’t want to, I help the pollution travel through the air!” says the wind. “And I carry it to the land!” cries the rain.
“If you can help us think of some solutions(解决方法), we will send a message to tell people how to clean up our environment,” one hiker says.
With the help of the plants and animals, the two hikers make a list of ideas for saving Lucy Lake and her friends.
Time passes, and the forest and lake begin to feel a little better.
The next time the hikers climb up the mountains to Lucy Lake, they smile at what they find. “We’re glad things have started to change,” one hiker says. “And we’re glad you helped us make a difference,” says the other.
